If you're talking about the "regulator" that's about 3-4" long in brass or stainless, that's a restrictor not a regulator regardless of what it says on the package. It simply restricts/chokes the flow & I think you'd find whether you use the 'high flow' model's set at 50 -55 or the standard 40-45 model that the flow is exactly the same & if used regularly for a couple seasons will totally restrict the flow. The regulator does exactly that, it "regulates" the pressure not the flow, only need to set it once to 50-55 & done.
I'm not trying to sell regulators, use what you want, but Valterra/Camco/whoever shouldn't call them "regulators" they are RESTRICTORS.
